    The lightning connectors problem is that the pins are actually exposed on the end of the cable. With USB-C they’re safely housed in a shroud but I guess the one cent worth of metal that would have been required to actually put a shroud on the cable just wasn’t worth it for Apple.

    Have you ever seen those shroudless USB-A devices they wear out in about 4 minutes.
